Group B:
Argentina (7)
Greece (13)
Nigeria (21)
South Korea (47)
In terms of FIFA ranking, Group B is fourth-best with an average team rank of 22. Action begins on the second day of the World Cup for this group, with the undisputable group favorite Argentina squaring off against Nigeria, and Greece against South Korea.
Argentina boasts Lionel Messi, who is arguably the world’s best football player. And that’s about all they got going for them. Sure, he’ll have good company up front with my favorite Argentine player Carlos Tevez, but the rest of the team lacks the same spark that Messi plays with. Messi is not my favorite player, far from it, but I think he will be the only good thing Argentina will have to show for themselves at the end of the tournament. Argentina’s recent results aren’t a good example of the team’s overall ability, a 4-0 win over Haiti and a 5-0 thrashing of the Canadians. Both of these teams are mediocre to say the least, and I mean no offense. Other friendlies from this year include a 1-0 win over Germany, a 2-1 win over Jamaica, and a 3-2 win over Costa Rica. Granted, these were all wins, but the win over Germany is the only win you would think they had to work for. Two close wins against two CONCACAF teams that didn’t make it to the World Cup don’t say much for Argentina.
Greece make their second World Cup appearance, having narrowly defeated Ukraine in the UEFA play-offs. Their first appearance was in 1994. The Greeks’ primary weapon is the 30-year-old Theofanis Gekas who was the top scorer in the UEFA qualifiers with 10 goals. A secondary weapon is the height of its players. Greece has not announced its official 23-man squad, but of the 30 players seeking a spot on the roster, 21 players are at least 6 feet tall. Goalkeeper Konstantinos Chalkias is 6’6’’. This time around, Greece has a good mix of new and veteran players. For their first appearance, the then coach Alketas Panagoulias opted to use players that had gotten Greece to the World Cup, though most of them were older and out-of-form. Greece finished the 1994 World Cup with three losses, zero goals scored and eleven against. But in recent history, the Greek national squad has given their country something to hope for, after winning the Euro 2004, defeating hosts Portugal in the final match.
Nigeria is the third-highest ranked African team at the moment, behind Egypt and Cameroon. Egypt failed to qualify for the World Cup, and Cameroon was drawn into a slightly less-favorable group with Denmark, Japan and the Netherlands. Nigeria’s real competition in the group is Greece, although I believe Nigeria has the best chance to upset Argentina. John Obi Mikel has been given the go-ahead by his doctors after recovering from a knee-surgery, and I think Mikel’s presence in the midfield is Nigeria’s key to success in the tournament. Other key players for Nigeria include Obafemi Martins, who has played for teams such as Inter and Newcastle. Kalu Uche could also make a name for himself, being able to play both as a striker and attacking-midfielder. Joseph Yobo, center back for Everton since 2003 would anchor the defense.
Last, and probably least, is South Korea. South Korea has had a few positive recent results, notably three straight 2-0 wins against the Ivory Coast, Ecuador and Japan. But just last weekend, South Korea suffered a 1-0 loss to Belarus, demonstrating the inconsistency of the squad. South Korea is also yet to announce its final roster, but the biggest name in their 30-man squad is that of Manchester United’s Park Ji-Sung. I feel South Korea will finish last place in their group, their only point if any coming from a draw with Greece.
Game predictions:
Argentina 2, Nigeria 1
Greece 1, South Korea 0
Argentina 2, South Korea 0
Greece 1, Nigeria 2
Nigeria 3, South Korea 2
Greece 1, Argentina 3
Argentina ..... 9 Pts .... +5

2010 World Cup Predictions: Group A
Group A
South Africa
Mexico
Uruguay
France
---
The world cup is less than two weeks away! Why not bust out our own predictions for the worlds greatest tournament? I'll start us off with Group A, which includes host South Africa. The South Africans have been on a major high as a fan base ever since it was announced that they would host the world cup four years ago. With great excitement comes great skepticism from the football world as to whether the South Africans will advance to the quarterfinals or not. Not advancing would put South Africa in apart of the record books they'd rather not be seen in.
Mexico comes into this world cup looking to improve on their recent performances on the big stage. After being ousted by the Argentinean squad in 2006, the Mexicans come in the 2010 world cup with a more favorable group than usual. Their opening match with South Africa will greatly depict how their 2010 campaign pans out. If they can get past the shaky South African defense, and perhaps the referees as well, they should get off on the right foot. The Mexicans are the wild card in this group. They could finish anywhere from 3rd to 1st.
After painfully not even qualifying for the 2006 world cup, the Uruguayan football team has done more than just qualified for this world. You will find varying opinions on how Uruguay's result will come from this group. I've seen some world rankings have Uruguay outside of the Top 40, while some like ESPN have them outrageously in the Top 10! Like Mexico, this team could explode onto the scene and surprise some. Or they could succumb to the high elevation and be round one and out....again.
I must admit, when it comes to a team like France, I'm a bit biased to dislike them. I could care less that they were in the world cup finals in 2006. I could care less about how talented they are or how much tradition they have, that play against Ireland where Thierry Henry touched the ball and was not penalized for it will overshadow the French team this entire world cup. They should not be playing in this tournament, period. I expect karma to catch up with this team.
With all that said, here are my game by game predictions.

Chelsea Wins as Rooney is Again Injured
Coming into a highly anticipated weekend, Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea were well on their way to winning the Premier League title and ending Manchester United’s three-year run of being the Premier League champs. There was little risk going into Sunday, but that did not stop the boys in blue from thwarting Wigan Athletic 8-0 at Stamford Bridge.
On a day where dethroned champs Manchester United beat Stoke City by a score of 4-0, Chelsea set a new record of 103 goals scored in a single league campaign. The game featured Ivory Coast’s own Didier Drogba pulling out a hat trick, giving him 29 goals on the season and the Premier League Golden Boot award, edging Wayne Rooney out by 3 goals.
From the moment the ball was set in today’s match, Chelsea pounded Wigan in virtually every category possible. The moment Nicolas Anelka put a goal in the back on the net only six minutes in; you could get the feeling that Wigan fans were going to wish the off-season had started yesterday after this game was all finished. Frank Lampard continued the onslaught not to long after Anelka’s goal and everything began to unravel from there. It became quite inevitable that Chelsea was going to capture its third Premier League title in the last six years.
Not to far away at Old Trafford, Manchester United knew their bid for a fourth straight title had been put out. Unfortunately for England fans, their pain may last into June as England striker Wayne Rooney appeared to re-aggravate his groin issue in the 77th minute against Stoke City.
Of course for those rooting for say the United States; we will greatly accept any help we can get going into June’s World Cup. Wayne Rooney’s injury is definitely one to monitor going forward. Though, I will add that it’s going to be very tough to keep that injury from reoccurring throughout the world cup.
With all that said Chelsea fans could care less as they sit back and enjoy their championship title, as they should. But next year will be an entirely different ordeal. Don’t think for one second that this won’t leave a bad taste in every Man U player’s mouth. The Red devils are sure to be in the hunt again in 2010-2011. But with the end of the Premier League season, every soccer fan welcomes this upcoming months World Cup.

Spanish Gameweek 37
It was a great Gameweek 37 in La Liga. Barcelona and Real Madrid both won 4-1 a few days ago in Gameweek 36 and still, a single point separated them coming into today's game.
Both teams came out of the gate running, Barcelona going up 1-0 five minutes into the game, Real Madrid at the 22nd minute. Real Madrid had a bit of a scare when, despite playing a man down due to a red card, Athletic Bilbao tied the game. Barcelona kept cruising on over Sevilla, going up 2-0 in the first half, then 3-0 early in the second half.
Real Madrid had most of the position in the first 20 minutes of the second half, but didn't do much with it. They had several shots, but could not find an easy opening. Finally, with 17 minutes left to go, they got the 2-1 off of a corner kick, and Bilbao's defense was broken wide after that. Final score: Real Madrid 5-1 Athletic Bilbao. Real Madrid, 5 goals from 5 different players: Cristiano Ronaldo (on a pk), Gonzalo Higuain, Sergio Ramos, Karim Benzema, and Marcelo.
Barcelona had a scare of their own, after Sevilla scored at the 68th minute and the 70th minute. Fortunately for Barca, the scoring ended there.
The last and final game is next Sunday, May 16th. Barcelona have 96 points and host Valladolid. Real Madrid have 95 points and visit Malaga.
The other spots still battled are for the fourth and final place in the Champions League. Sevilla have 60 points and visit Almeria next week, and Mallorca have 59 points and hosts Espanyol. My predictions: both Sevilla and Mallorca will win, giving the final Champions League spot to Sevilla and sending Mallorca to the Europa League next season.
The sixth and final place in the Europa League is also being contested. Getafe and Villareal are tied with 55 points (goal difference of +7 and +1 respectively), and they will visit Athletico Madrid and Real Zaragoza respectively.
Finally, the battle to try to stay in Spain's top flight is also fiercely contested between five teams. Three of those five teams will see themselves playing in the second division next season. Currently, those last five places look like this:
Pos...Team..................Points...Goal Diff
16....Malaga....................36 Pts......-6 GD
17....Racing Santander....36 Pts......-19 GD
18....Valladolid...............36 Pts......-21 GD
19....Tenerife...................36 Pts......-33 GD
20....Xerez......................33 Pts......-28 GD
I think the three bottom place teams at the end of this week will be at the bottom of the table next week too and will be relegated.

Newcastle United
Looking back on this last season of football, it's funny how I didn't notice the Toons' absence in the Premier League. Fortunately, next season will be graced by their presence again after a solid year in the Championship.
Newcastle has never been a particularly important team to me, but they've always been there as long as I've known English football.
The first leg of the quarter finals of the Mexican football league ended yesterday with a 2-2 tie between millionaire team Club America and Toluca. America was the only home team in the first leg that did not win. However, a simple win at the Nemesio Diez next Sunday will see them through to the semis. Toluca has always been a great defensive team and have been known to play entire games with little attacking aims. Despite still not having their prolific goalscorer most of this season, America has been a pretty solid offensive team, in a three-way tie for most goals by a single team this last regular season.
What do I expect for the return leg? I think three of the now visiting teams have a good chance of advancing to the semis: Morelia who have a 4-2 lead over Chivas, Santos who have a 2-0 lead over UNAM, and America. The other team with a lead after the first leg, Pachuca, I think will succumb to the defending champion Monterrey in Monterrey's Tecnologico stadium.
So where will that leave us for the semis? If my current predicted victors advance, the semis would look like this: Monterrey vs Morelia with the return leg played in Monterrey, and Club America vs. Santos with the return leg played in Santos' Nuevo Estadio Corona. I would predict Monterrey and America advancing to the finals with the return leg played again in Monterrey, since they were first place in the regular season. This would be an interesting final, since in recent history, Monterrey have neutralised America's offense and effectively shut down their defense. But America has been playing better football lately, if not exactly what we expect from a team of their history and reputation.
Monterrey has a good chance of defending their title, thus becoming the second team to win back-to-back titles since the newer short tournaments were introduced in 1996 with liguillas, or playoffs, to determine a champion instead of simply to the top team becoming champions like in European leagues. Liguillas or playoffs are mostly a New World concept, with its use in football spreading from the U.S. down to Brazil and Argentina.
America however, also have a decent chance of winning their 11th title in their almost 100 year history. Doing so, they'd be tying Chivas with the most titles in Mexican football history.

English Premier League 09/10
Chelsea is poised to win the English Premier League this season, as they are four points clear of Manchester United. Man U lead Sunderland 1-0 at the moment and are likely to tack on another goal or two in the second half, I believe. This would lead to the last game of the season, where Chelsea will host Wigan at Stamford Bridge and Manchester United will host Stoke City at Old Trafford. Both of the top two teams are more than likely to win that last game, meaning there will be a new champion to the premier league this season, as Man U are the defending champions the last three years running.
The only top European league with a mathematically crowned champion is the Scottish Premier League, where Rangers have been three to four games clear of Celtic for what seems like forever.
Several of the top European leagues have a likely champion, one who has created a gap between themselves and second place with a few games left to go, as is the case with Marseille in France, and Bayern Munich in Germany who have a three point lead with a game to go.
The rest have a close race to the title, Real Madrid and Barcelona in Spain, and Roma and Inter Milan in Italy.
This past season has been a more than decent year for football, and hopefully this means it will be a more than decent World Cup.

MLS Cup 2010 Prediction
Seattle Sounders FC will win the 2010 season.
Seattle returns with the same recipe of players that accomplished so much for them last year, as well as an ever-growing fan base that expects something to cheer for.
Kasey Keller remains Seattle’s last line of defense. I’m curious as to whether he has announced any plans of retirement. Keller turns 41 soon after the culmination of the 2010 season, and while many keepers have been known to play well into their 40s, it is never a sure thing. In an interview with the New York Times at the beginning of last season, Keller admits that one of the reasons he decided to turn down offers in Europe and sign with the Sounders was so that his kids wouldn’t have to move around as much. Once the Sounders settle down in the league, which they appear to be doing quite early, does retirement seem imminent for Keller?
From the few games I’ve had a chance to watch so far this season, Seattle’s defense appears shaky at times. Both of the ties so far this season have come in the final minute of the game, granted, one of them was due to a questionable penalty awarded to FC Dallas. In the first tie, Seattle was doomed to allow Real Salt Lake to score. The last chunk of game was spent on Seattle’s third of the field, with no clear communication between defense and offense.
Seattle’s ability to score goals is going to have to be the key to a successful season. They have a shaky defense with a great goalkeeper that will keep out the worst, but their offense will take them far. They have seven goals scored and allowed in the first six matches, and so far, the goals have fallen at important times in the matches, both for and against.
I think Seattle’s offense is consistent, and if they bring their defense at least up to par, Seattle will be the best contender for the 2010 MLS Cup.

Experimental Blog
I'm going to try to starting an experimental blog dedicated to association football.
Realistically, this will take me a while and I will probably only cover obvious topics.
Ideally, I would like to expand this to cover several professional premier leagues as well as the upcoming FIFA World Cup. Also, ideally I would like to narrow the focus of the blog to not just news and top stories, but evaluations of specific games each week in each league, looking at the coaches, players and referees.
So far, it's just me because I just had the idea, but I would like to involve either close friends that I can trust to keep to the core of the blog, or anyone who is motivated and I decide I can like and trust to help me with this experimental blog.
Each game evaluation will have the following tags in the following order:
League
Home team
Visiting team
Referee (if available and if the ref is critiqued in the blog article)
Since I'm just one guy and my only source for news is through websites such as ESPN, these cites will be cited if information is used from them.
So my goal is for the site to provide scores and tables and simple stats for the teams/leagues, and my main contribution of the site will be game evaluations/discussions.
